Yes, thanks. I need to find a solution that balances flexibility with ease of use. I'll ponder it a bit...

seperate actions using the same file.
*For testing purposes only*

[0_data\Library\Cameras.dat]
;Randomly adjusts blur duration time to simulate periscope seal/lens integrity,
FileType=B
ChooseFrom=8 ;50% chance-if Commander does not pick one will it move to the below files?
RndMidPat=1

0_x2ECD=20 ;Attack Periscope Drops duration[4]
0_x2EE2=20 ;Attack Periscope Blur duration[3]
1_x2ECD=37
1_x2EE2=37
2_x2ECD=60
2_x2EE2=60
3_x2ECD=3600
3_x2EE2=3600
;--------------------------------------------------------------------
[1_data\Library\Cameras.dat]
;Randomly disables attack scope zoom, simulates periscope magnification breakdown.

FileType=B
ChooseFrom=4 ;50% chance-if Commander does not pick one will it move to the below file?
RndMidPat=1

0_x302F=1.5
0_x304E=1.5
1_x302F=6.0
1_x304E=6.0
;--------------------------------------------------------------------
[2_data\Library\Cameras.dat]*this is a combination of the above two files*
;Randomly adjusts blur duration time and disables attack scope zoom to
simulate periscope seal/lens integrity combined with inoperative magnification

FileType=B
ChooseFrom=2
RndMidPat=1

0_x2ECD=20
0_x2EE2=20
0_x302F=1.5 ;Zoom
0_x304E=1.5 ;Zoom
1_x2ECD=20
1_x2EE2=20
1_x302F=6.0
1_x304E=6.0

Sabotage files have potential for numerous events all using the same file-mostly it's the NSS_U boatx.sim file. In the Random folder structure it works fine but using Randomized events.CFG I had problems with conflicting files shutting each other out. If the avove example will work then that solves my problem. If it will not work then I have to completely rewrite the Sabotage files in a format that is Randomized events.CFG friendly

Using your above example, [1_data\Library\Cameras.dat] will still run regardless of whether [0_data\Library\Cameras.dat] ran or not. Likewise [2_data\Library\Cameras.dat] to [1_data\Library\Cameras.dat].

But using the above example, the 0_ and 1_ sections are meaningless as the 2_ section will *always* result in a selection which will overwrite a 0_ or 1_ selection anyway.

But yes, you can build layers. It's prolly like building a house. Get the foundation down first, then add the different floors. Prolly not the best analogy, but you get the idea.
